how to call rospy.init_node() twice

edit

Hi there,

Im trying to call one node to do one action, and then continue to the next action. get the error: raise rospy.exceptions.ROSException("rospy.init_node() has already been called with different arguments: "+str(_init_node_args))

how can I stop the first node in order to continue to the next one?
